Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
|
|||
|
|
Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to
|
|||
|
|
create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a
|
|||
|
|
comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making
|
|||
|
|
games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with
|
|||
|
|
one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop
|
|||
|
|
platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as
|
|||
|
|
well as Web-based platforms and consoles.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Free, open source and community-driven
|
|||
|
|
Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissive
|
|||
|
|
MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users'
|
|||
|
|
games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code. Godot's
|
|||
|
|
development is fully independent and community-driven, empowering users
|
|||
|
|
to help shape their engine to match their expectations. It is supported
|
|||
|
|
by the Godot Foundation not-for-profit.
|
|||
|
|
Before being open sourced in February 2014, Godot had been developed
|
|||
|
|
by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur (both still maintaining the project)
|
|||
|
|
for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several
|
|||
|
|
work-for-hire titles.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Community and contributing
|
|||
|
|
Godot is not only an engine but an ever-growing community of users
|
|||
|
|
and engine developers. The main community channels are listed on the
|
|||
|
|
homepage.
|
|||
|
|
The best way to get in touch with the core engine developers is to
|
|||
|
|
join the Godot Contributors Chat.
|
|||
|
|
To get started contributing to the project, see the contributing
|
|||
|
|
guide. This document also includes guidelines for reporting bugs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Documentation and demos
|
|||
|
|
The official documentation is hosted on Read the Docs. It is
|
|||
|
|
maintained by the Godot community in its own GitHub repository.
|
|||
|
|
The class reference is also accessible from the Godot editor.
|
|||
|
|
We also maintain official demos in their own GitHub repository as
|
|||
|
|
well as a list of awesome Godot community resources.
|
|||
|
|
There are also a number of other learning resources provided by the
|
|||
|
|
community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc. Consult the
|
|||
|
|
community channels for more information.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
By default, the scons build system will probe your system and use all
|
|||
|
|
available cores less one. To get around this, you may set the number of
|
|||
|
|
jobs in the MAKEFLAGS variable.
